We are passionate about making a difference in people's lives who are living with dementia and other special needs conditions. Our mother, Betty Dickson, passed away on February 15, 2011 from Alzheimer’s disease at the age of 88. Caldonia, her Memorable Pet, was deeply loved by her and was in her arms when she passed. In our mother’s honor, and with an effort to help improve the lives of people with Alzheimer’s and age-related dementia, we founded our company, Memorable Pets, LLC. Stuffed animals for Alzheimer’s patients is proven to be an enormous benefit for those in mid-late stages of the disease where age-related regression occurs. The Mission of Memorable Pets is Simple: To educate people and the caregiver community on the benefits of a transitional companion, such as a Memorable Pet or a Believable Baby for people with mid-late stages of Alzheimer's disease where age-related regression occurs. To educate on how we can assist in communication with other family members, i.e. a grandchild with Buddy Pets. To provide adult appropriate (with professional geriatric input for criteria) realistic looking, plush stuffed animal pets and baby dolls for their transitional, loving, comfort and nurturing therapeutic benefits.
